Definition

Dicarboxylic aminoaciduria (DCBXA) is characterized by a striking excretion of urinary glutamate and aspartate, resulting from the incomplete reabsorption of anionic amino acids from the glomerular filtrate in the kidney. Patients may have impaired intellectual development (summary by Bailey et al., 2011). [from OMIM]
